So true, that memories of summer in childhood often involve looking up through the lovely, refreshing leaves of trees. This is a wonderful photo, and nice words indeed!
Thanks for this uplifting post which promises the delights of summer to come.

Hi Christine, I have such a connection to trees and childhood memories too. We would: climb trees, look up through the leaves, build treehouses and birch-bark toy canoes (amazing I found one canoe intact recently!)…I’m so glad you liked this work.

Hi Joe, Good memories, I agree. We may have been gazing up through the same trees at times, back then. 😉

Hi Brenda, Yes, bring it on. Another gloomy day today. 😦 It’s like this winter is never going to end. Not that I don’t usually like winter, but give me some sun pleeeease!!! LOL
